Clearing the Browser Tabs – Wednesday Edition

Glenn Reynolds linked to an interesting piece by Yochanan Visser on the second Gaza Flotilla, which has not enjoyed quite as much love and adoration as the first flotilla. I think perhaps we conservatives can use this example as a blueprint for how to conduct “guerrilla marketing” campaigns in the future.

Note that the bloggers and newspaper writers who made the flotilla organizers look like a bunch of Israel-hating radical throwbacks used the organizers own words and associations against them. Granted, they didn’t necessarily have to fight their own version of the MSM every step of the way to get the message out, but they didn’t get a great deal of help in the beginning either.

The lesson, then, is to be relentless with the facts. Use them until they are ground to a nub, then get more and use them in the same way. Show the connections between the mainstream and the fringe that are manifest. Trace the bright path of the philosophies of the left from today back through the ruins of countries in which those philosophies held sway. Most of all, work together.

The Delivery this week has a bit of a connection to this story insofar as I introduce a simple message for 2012 should any candidate wish to take it up and suggest that we not wait until our plans are perfected to get them in the hands of the people who can enjoy and use them. There’s also some Klingon involved. It’ll make sense when the show post comes out later today. Trust me!

And now, links!

• Duane Lester decided he could do better by Herman Cain than his own staff and made the candidate a campaign video. Seriously, GOP candidates, hire this man.
• Feeling bad? The American Medical Association says it’s probably the fault of global warming, or it will be at some undefined point in the future.
• For an administration that has sought from the beginning to bring in a team of experts to run our economy, they seem to have a hard time finding and keeping experts. Maybe we’d be better off if we just ran our own economy now, thanks.
• The buck stops…somewhere. Not quite here. Over there, near the last guy.
• The Castro Brothers are still a blight on the Earth and they’re only getting worse in their old age.
• All they are saying, is you mouth-breathing right-wing maniacal Tea Party people should give peace a chance.
